As far as I know, even if it is not an open transfer market, a club can acquire a player if he is a free agent right?
If that is true, I don’t think he has to be under too much pressure because of the transfer market being closed.
But if that is not the case, then he is in big trouble.
Because this is the age when he should be performing at his best and showing his best performances.
if he has no club and he has to stay away from football for one whole season, it is definitely going to have a big effect on his career.

Sane to Newcastle sounds like a deal Newcastle United can make happen. In recent transfer windows we have seen some cool names joining Newcastle United and it will a matter of time before we see this one happening too.

I totally agree that Jordan Pickford has not been anywhere close to his best this season same as Ramsdale since joining Southampton from Arsenal.

Marseille actually cooking, he was definitely asking for too much money. Where teams like Milan, Manchester United, Newcastle have calmed down, they are just creating over-hype. You know, he just wanted that money because he felt like it would be a downgrade for him. that’s why he either wanted a crazy amount of money that Galatasaray wasn’t going to pay and even if they actually did pay him that much money, it would be worth it to go to the Turkish for that much money.

This former Juventus, PSG midfielder is not as much of a great player as he thinks himself to be. I am really not trying to trash-talk him. But when a player asks for so much money, it is actually hard not to talk trash about him.

He’s definitely going to have some competition. But the coach seems to play a midfield heavy formation. So I think he will be able to get some good playing time if he is able to play well.

This deal isn’t a straight one year loan deal, because there is a break in clause of the deal which is proposed to be in January transfer window. They were talks that clubs like Chelsea did ran out of time to sign Osimhen and there’s believe that they could come back again. Looking at the way Chelsea are playing and many are calling out their only striker Nickolas Jackson I think it wouldn’t be surprising to see them looking for Osimhen again in the winter break, Osimhen was actually intelligent this time around to have a break in clause in this loan deal and also agree a new Napoli contract that so the release club reduced to €75m which is more affordable to clubs scouting him, all he needs now is to get more playing time and add goals to his game at Galatasaray and he would be on the market once again.


Arsenal actually needed a striker this summer and they failed to get one which was bad seriously, but I don’t buy the idea that they missed out of this guy Gyökeres just yet. Arsenal were reluctant to sign him this summer because of his release clause which is around €100m and I think I agree with them not taking the risk, Gyökeres has actually had one exceptional season which was last season and a €100m will be a huge gamble considering the league he is even coming from. Although Arsenal should have gone for other strikers but they didn’t which was the only reason I blame them.

Arsenal have missed out in signing big football talents and if you ask me, Gyökeres is definitely another big miss for the Gunners. The club management knew they needed a big and sharp striker like Gyokeres who can create and score goals from nothing but still refused to activate his release clause when they had the chance. Now that many of the top clubs in Europe are reportedly interested in the Swedish striker, signing him now will be more difficult if you ask me

I think this price is even cheap for him. He is one of the 3 best strikers in the world right now. I would say he is in the top 3 with Haaland and Kane. Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't sign in this transfer window, but next year he will definitely go to one of the biggest clubs in the big leagues.

It's interesting that Yusuf Yazıcı remains free. Yusuf, who is currently a free agent when he should be in the prime period, rejected the offers because his wife didn't want to go Türkiye. He was left free agent when no other offer for a high wage came. He is now waiting for an offer from Saudi Arabia. If none of those clubs make an offer either, he may remain free agent until the winter transfer window, which is pretty dangerous for a player like him.

Gyökeres says he is happy at Sporting for now.

His release clause is very high just as he says. It is 100 million euros.    Even though he says he is happy there, I think he would be open to joining a bigger European team at the same time. It is all about meeting the team and player's demands.

No doubt he is happy now though.    Sporting are destroying everyone in the Liga Portugal. Gyökeres also scored 8 goals in 5 games, just brilliant! He is likely to score 30+ goals this time in my opinion.

If only Arsenal signed him... 

Jamal Musiala market value is currently increasing, along with his continued good performance with Bayern Munich. Of course, all managers will try to recruit him, including Hansi Flick, because they know the bargaining value of the German attacking midfielder. Barcelona must prepare a large budget if they are really ambitious to hijack him from Bayern Munich, if they succeed in winning the La Liga or Champions League trophy, maybe the plan will be easier to realize. Besides, this scenario only happens if the Bundesliga giants are willing to open negotiations, which I think they are also not willing to do, because they want to keep their assets for a longer period of time.

My transfer speculation is Osimhen moves to Galatasaray from Napoli on a loan deal that will last from September 2024 to 2025, which of which Galatasaray has the option to buy him, and I think they will probably take that option because Osimhen is an exceptional player, he puts continual effort to develop himself, and he will be an asset to anything he joins.

Joa Felix joining Chelsea from Athletico Madrid with a whooping transfer fee of fifty-two million dollars, it's contract to run from August 2024 to 2030, which shows how much value has been placed on him, I believe he will continue to maintain his value in Chelsea because he's a hard-working player, I think these two players are worth every penny that will be invested in them for transfer because they are talented and they are dedicated to their game.

since he was still at juventus, rabiot has shown good performance but we all know the reason juventus released rabiot is because juventus is maintaining the team's finances, the strong issue circulating that man utd and arsenal are interested in rabiot (i am sure between these two teams will be rabiot's next stopover).

another interesting thing is besides man utd and arsenal, atletico madrid is also interested in rabiot, that's all because his current status is "free agent", in my opinion rabiot is still a good investment, it would be a shame if a team missed him.

When the 2022/23 season after Napoli won the Scudetto, Victor Osimhen name attracted the most interest from big European clubs but unfortunately the player chose to stay and that's where the problem began. The rejection he made now puts Osimhen in an unclear situation, initially he felt he would be fine and would become more important at the club, but without realizing it, the changes in the 2023/24 season dropped Napoli to 10th place in the standings, meaning the club felt Osimhen had lost his existence plus the new coach Conte did have the same plan to remove him from the main squad. If you draw a red line, the mistake is on the player who doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone to take offers from other clubs.

The 24-year-old Frenchman played more than 20 games for Salzburg last year. I think they should have signed him. He is now a free agent and I wonder where his new team will be. I think it could be Saudi Arabia. They could pay him a very high salary in Saudi Arabia.

29 years old French who was playing as central midfielder in Juventus now after staying unemployed for few months back into business with Marseille which is good move for the parties as he is still good and having good potential to give his best at the top level even there were few rumours about few English clubs, but things were never been supportive for him to go through so at the end he is having good deal with 2 years contract even rumours are saying there is cut in salary but still it's good deal for player.

De Zerbi is doing good job after joining Marseille and trying to bring quality players those can give their best and this club can fight back at the top level of French League currently Marseille is having second spot in Ligue 1 after 4 matches they are having 10 points and chances are high we will have them in good spots at the end of this season.

It's clear that Flick would "want" Musiala, who wouldn't want that player he is a great midfielder and everyone would want him of course and in that sense Flick probably wants him too. But, looking at the financial situation Barcelona is in, the only possibility for them to be able to do this would be getting him free when his contract is done and also at the same time get rid of Frankie De Jong's contract somehow as well.

I do not see neither of those things happening anytime soon, so it's clear that we are going to probably not see Musiala at Barcelona anytime soon. They should stop caring about players with contracts and try to buy players, and try to focus on players who have ending contracts and try to convince them, it would be a lot better to just deal with youth players coming from la masia plus free agents, that way they would keep most of their money and not spend any dime on transfers, just salaries.

Oumar Solet has been a very solid center-back defender for the Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg since he signed for the club in 2020 and he has been doing great for the club but I wonder what could make the club not consider extending his contract after it got expired on 14th September 2024, but what ever be the case, it looks like it was a mutual understanding between Oumar Solet and the club not to extend his contract. Even though his salary is cheap you should also consider the league he's playing in; Austrian Bundesliga, those leagues are very unpopular so you can't expect them to pay players higher salaries even though the players are doing very great.

Leroy Sane has been linked with a move to Newcastle United with his contract coming to an end  this season. I don't see him returning to a club with no chance of playing in the Champions League Competition if he eventually leaves Bayern Munich and we have seen the incompetency of Eddie Howe for the past season, joining Newcastle United would be a no no!


We all can agree that Jordan Pickford has been poor since the start of the season. That aside, he is also not a good goalkeeper who knows how to serve the ball and at the same time filled with lost of errors. Sean Dyche is considering dumping him to get a new goalkeeper if he doesn't improve.
He is no different from Aaron Ramsdale honestly when I pay close attention to the both of them. Not just the goalkeeper, I feel like Sean Dyche is just good for resurrecting clubs about to be dumped and relegated. The management should also look into the coach.

Musiala's contract is still until 2026. Munich has also sent a contract extension with an offer of a salary increase and bonuses. unfortunately, it was not agreed by the player who asked for a fairly high salary increase and the club was not willing to fulfill it. the only thing Munich can do is sell him immediately before the contract expires. that could be detrimental to Munich.
but if it is associated with Barcelona, ​​I don't think they currently have that ability. it would involve a large value, and we know Barcelona's current problems. several rich clubs like Man City are also interested, and if an agreement is reached it would certainly be a large value.

I'm very disappointed to see how Salzburg treated Oumar Solet so badly. They sent him to the Liefiring for training. They hoped to offload him to the Heidenheim, but he failed the medical test. And Salzburg has no interest to offer him a contract extension.

Oumar Solet is now a wasteful talent caused by the internal problem of Salzburg. So far, no offer came from the turkish club. He is gonna be jobless.

One thing is to hear a news, and another is to determine the validity of the news. In the transfer market, we always see the transfer of old players happening almost after the rumour is out, but in the case of young players like Musiala, it's not always an easy thing. This is because;

• Every club will be reluctant of selling their young star who is perceived as the future of the club.
• The amount of money involved in such a deal is always high

So, in the case of Musiala, I doubt that Bayern Munich will like to let him go this time of they want to win the champions league.
Also, can Barcelona afford this transfer is another thing to put into consideration.

It is not a good experience for a twenty-four-year-old player to be a free agent without a club. At this age, players are meant to be at the prime of their careers and chased after by many clubs. It is sad to know that the French international's contract has been terminated by Austrian club RB Salzburg. He was linked to many clubs such as West Ham United, Liverpool and Manchester United but none of them materialised. He once went for medicals in Hoffenheim but the contract collapsed because he failed the clinical tests. His options are very slim now since the transfer window of many top leagues is closed. The Turkish transfer window closed on September 13th, so he has to consider leagues in Azerbaijan, Israel or Saudi Arabia.
